Today’s fractal is near the bottom of this post, so those of you who just visit for the art work, please scroll down.

School finished today. It was theoretically my “last day” in this particular role as I did not want to renew my contract. Am oddly happy about this, even though it means I am back to being a simple day reliever (ie: substitute teacher).

My happiness could be due to the decreased responsibility and higher pay as a reliever. The pay is not actually higher, it just seems higher as holiday pay is included. One good thing is that as a reliever I do charge for travel and with fuel prices the highest I have ever seen them this can only be a good thing.

For those of you wondering why more people don’t choose relieving, there is rather a lot of uncertainty in the life style. One never knows when one is going to be called in to work and whilst you one refuse work, if one does not work, one doesn’t get paid.

We did see the sun today but it is still rather grey outside. All once again seems manageable though. Especially as I can sleep late tomorrow. Life just got a whole lot better for me. Must have something to do with being officially on vacation.
